    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    I drove a 998 once and nearly bought another one later. I'm glad I waited and got my 1045a2.

    Tach Drive Speed Sensor

    So I replaced the sensor again with a new one and the tach is back to normal working fine. Sensors seem to be doubling in price so I was hoping someone had some input on how to fix my problem.

    Another engine noise video

    I was attempting to install a new serpentine belt, which was too long, and discovered my AC delete idler has a bad bearing. Mine had a squeek similar to yours. A new one is on the way.

    Anyone need a 114" serpentine belt?

    Mine has the idler in place of the AC compressor which is why I ordered the long one.

    Anyone need a 114" serpentine belt?

    Probably low but if someone was going to order a long one they could order a shorter, cheaper 98" one and have it shipped to me after I sent them mine.

    Anyone need a 114" serpentine belt?

    I had bought a replacement belt last year and was going to replace it yesterday. After removing the old one, I realized my original was 98' not the 114" one I had bought. So if anyone with the 114" truck needs a new Dayco belt, I'd love to swap you mine for a 98" one.

    Tach Drive Speed Sensor

    My tach went bonkers yesterday pegging out full rpm . Odd thing is, it did the same thing about a year ago and replacing the tach speed sensor fixed it. What breaks in these things and can they be checked or repaired? Do they serve any other purpose ,such as transmission control, in my 1045A2?

    Wiring Accessories and Battery Switch

    If you switch your negative, remember that the slave cable ground will need switched also. I disconnect power through my positive in my 1045 and it's been trouble free for almost 2 years now.

    Throttle stuck at 50% - Help Please

    It could be your automatic advance plunger being corroded and stuck. It sits on the bottom and water collects in the engine valley and rust and corrosion sit in. My 1045A2 was doing exactly as you describe. I sent my pump out for a rebuild and they replaced all bad components and overhauled it...

    6.2 Humvee starts, runs for 5-10 seconds then dies

    I sent my very rough pump here last year for a rebuild. For less than $300 shipped both ways, it came back looking brand new. And it runs great.

    6.2 Humvee starts, runs for 5-10 seconds then dies

    There is no vacuum on your diesel engine and the fuel pump is mechanical, not vacuum operated. Open or remove the bleed screw at the filter, turn the engine over with the starter and see if you're getting pressure and flow. Or if you don't want to make a mess, remove the hose going into your...
